I would definitely return here the next time I am in Lyon.
Pros:

The staff were wonderfully helpful and attentive! I loved the “Grecian” style relaxation pools. Just sitting by them, listening to the waters was relaxing. I also appreciated the lovely antique furniture in our room.

Pour un séjour tranquille
Pros:

Une chambre avec du caractère, hyper calme, une vraie clé pour ouvrir la porte, sans carte à insérer pour avoir de l’électricité (ce que je prends pour une marque de confiance), des vrais draps et des vraies couvertures... bref l'ambiance générale de confort est à l'aune de l'âge respectable du bâtiment. A ajouter un petit déjeuner copieux avec des produits délicieux (les viennoiseries...) sans basculer dans la gabegie. J'avais oublié la présence d'une piscine, je n'ai donc pu y goûter.

Cons:

Alors deux points un peu négatif : le manque de pression totale dans la la douche et j'ai signalé dès le lendemain matin de ma 1ère nuit que 10 chaines de la TV ne fonctionnaient pas du tout. Force est de constater que rien n'a été fait pour la remise en route ou, au moins, une explication pour ne pas l'avoir fait. Pour un hôtel de cette qualité dommage que les demandes ne soient pas traitées...
